I came here with my friend visiting from Chicago and it was one of the more authentic thrifts we’ve been to. They have a large selection of items at very affordable prices. The staff are friendly and very helpful. There is a small changing room and it’s pretty busy. I will recommend you visit this store if you are just out for a real thrift experience.
The shop is cramped, unorganized, unlabelled and uninteresting. Everything is overpriced (I mean really overpriced) and you wont be able to find a full set of anything, not shoes, not earrings, not dishes. The front windows knick knacks makes it look more interesting than it is. Dude tried to sell me a childs craft bead bracelet for 7 dollars, and one of the earrings I found was a bunch of wire with a long string of hot glue attached (?) Disinfect anything you buy here too. Yuck!
A fabulous place indeed. I wandered in here last week and walked out with three items that are better than anything new Ive bought recently. Quite a selection of leather belts, bags and pretty much everything. I love my new jacket, blouse, & belt. I am coming back again with an Ikea bag for a spree. You will definitely find some great names and spectacular bargains. Super kind staff too. Thank you!
Love the items, especially the dresses. They restock everyday. The price is okay as well, given that its in the east village. I think they gave me a discount for being a first-timer. A lot of H&M and Loft, but theres more high end items if you have the time to browse their selection more thoroughly. Most of the clothes I saw were small to medium though, I hope they would have more variety in terms of sizing. Will be back!
The prices for the clothes were a bit too high given their quality. The women’s tops are probably some of the more overpriced pieces, but they had good deals for men’s t-shirts (around $6), women’s jeans ($9-$11), and skirts ($9-10). They had a wide selection of books, but most of them were really dusty. Overall a cozy shop but it felt kind of suffocating because of a really strong fragrance they used to try to cover up the smell of the clothes.
Definitely the thrift store to go to if you have some time on youre hands and dont mind digging a bit through the racks to get a good find. They have a good selection of womens and mens clothing and accessories, as well as a wall of shoes in the back and some assorted housewares. Prices are reasonable, often less than the Goodwill and Salvation Army in the area, all while being less picked over.
I love this store. Has a great selection of clothing and books and other things for a really cheap price. Some thrift stores sell clothes at regular retail store price like H&M or Forever 21 butt this store I actually see real low thrift store prices. Definitely a place to visit if you enjoy thrifting.

2022-08-25The worker there (dark skin guy) felt the need to stand by me on his phone while I was trying on belts and did the same when I looked in the mens section (back). Like buddy I’m not pressed to rob a thrift store. Idk who would, to be honest. It’s very disorganized and dirty inside. I happened to have been the only black male shopper there. It be your own people..

2022-06-25Exactly the thrift store I was looking for. The prices are reasonable-- $6 for a shirt, $10-$12 for a dress, $15+ for a pair of jeans. Since this is a thrift store and not a vintage store, you will have to sift through a lot of clothing to find what you want. However, if you love the thrill of the hunt for cheap and unique pieces, this is the place for you!

2021-06-16I loved this thrift store!My friend and I stopped in here this past Sunday (November 1st, 2020) and i’m glad we did. I found a green and navy blue flannel and a black cropped von dutch zip up hoodie. The flannel was $9.99 and the hoodie was $8.99. Considering that this is a thrift in the east village of manhattan that’s some GREAT pricing! It took me a good 20 minutes of walking around to realize how nicely decorated the place was. I especially love the ceiling. I know most people don’t choose their thrift based on decor and neither do I, but there’s something to be said about the vibe you get in different thrift stores and if that matters to you like it does to me, come support this store. All the workers were very friendly and made us feel welcome. My one and only complaint is that they bag with plastic bags. I totally should have brought a reusable bag with me but I forgot to. I was a little disappointed to walk out with a plastic bag but that’s really a minor issue considering you could bring your own bag. I’ll definitely be back! I’d be happy to update this review if next time I go I see they made the switch to a more eco-friendly bag option like paper bags. [edit: I went back on June 11th, 2021 and they were still using plastic bags.]

2022-09-03The store is cramped but most importantly the guy with the dreads who rang me up is rude. He threw my stuff in my bag. Just disgusting.
